Toilet chip repair in Honiton, done in place

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you are dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, on toilet pans, porcelain and cisterns & lids alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Toilet pans
  • Vitreous china
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Porcelain
  • Pedestals

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Questions from Honiton

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Devon.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Do you come to Honiton?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Honiton and the rest of Devon. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Landlord and trade work in Honiton

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Honiton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Honiton?

Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Honiton

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
